It has often been said that you can best judge the quality of a sporting team by the talents of the players left out, and never has this been better illustrated than with ESPN's "Legends of Cricket". No one could argue that the English have boasted a vast array of excellent cricketers throughout history, with names such as Denis Compton, Len Hutton,Fred Trueman, Geoff Boycott, Jim Laker, Derek Underwood, Graham Gooch, Ian Botham, Andrew Flintoff, David Gower and Michael Atherton. However, this fascinating programme aims to pick out the very best of the bunch.
Running at nearly 2 hours in length this new programme looks not only at some of the hero's of today but also looks at back a pre and post war times and at some of the English greats who played the game during the halcyon days of English cricket.
Featuring superb, action packed archive footage and in-depth interviews with cricketing legends: Ian Botham, David Gower, W.G Grace Sir Jack Hobbs, Len Hutton and Walter Hammond and many, many more, "Legends of Cricket - England" really is a must have for all cricket enthusiasts.
